My Genius Sister is Only Seven!?

Chapter 60: The Smell of a Mother

“Let go,” Shen Yu said in a muffled voice. Looking at Emily, he could not help but feel a little sorry for her.

“Good child, you didn’t do anything wrong. You just protected yourself. You did the right thing.”

Second Aunt held Emily in her arms, feeling sorry for her. Emily leaned against Second Aunt. She could always feel the smell of her mother from Second Aunt. She felt a little nostalgic.

“But… But I lied.” The more Emily spoke, the sadder she became. Would Second Aunt not like her because of this? Did Shen Yu also think that she was a bad person?

“Millie, although lying is wrong, because lying can protect yourself and Xiao Yu, will you still refuse to lie because it’s wrong?”

“No, because I have to protect my brother.”

Then, Emily looked up at Second Aunt and said firmly, “I also have to protect Second Aunt.”

Second Aunt hugged Emily tightly with great relief. Although she did not think that Emily really had the ability to protect her, she still felt very happy when she heard Emily’s words.

After that, Emily really protected Second Aunt because of what she said today. These were all future matters.

On the other hand, Shen Yu was not happy. What could he do to make Emily only see him?

He was very unhappy. There were more and more people around Emily.

As soon as they returned to the Shen family’s old residence, Second Aunt asked someone to send the things she bought to Emily’s room. Then, she mysteriously closed Emily’s room door.

“Little Millie, take a look. What did Second Aunt buy for you?”

Second Aunt opened her palm. In her hand lay a chain made of black rope. There were no decorations.

Emily looked at Second Aunt with some confusion.

“Take out the ring that your mother left for you.”

Emily suddenly came to a realization. She took the ring out of her small bag and placed it in Second Aunt’s hand.

Second Aunt tied the ring with a black string and signaled Emily to go over.

When Emily walked in, Second Aunt tied the black string around Emily’s neck and adjusted the length.

“Okay, look. Now you don’t have to be afraid of dropping it. Your mother can always be with you.”

Emily lowered her head and played with the ring with her hand. Then, she put the ring away, just enough to be covered by her clothes.

Emily was a little touched. She went up and hugged Second Aunt. Second Aunt must have gone to get this rope for her when she was gone.

In the past, her father had told her that only people who cared about her would take her words to heart.

“Second Aunt, thank you.”

“Silly child. Second Aunt has always dreamed of having a daughter. Now is just the right time.” Second Aunt stroked Emily’s hair and comforted her softly.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Rest early. You’ll have to go to school in a few days.”

Emily nodded and very obediently sent Second Aunt out of the room.

After a simple wash, Emily lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Emily opened her eyes again, she fell into her dream again. The woman in white was still sitting on the treetop, looking at something unknown.

“Sister, what are you looking at?”

Emily raised her head in confusion and stood on tiptoe, trying to see further. However, she couldn’t see anything except the endless grass.

“Didn’t you notice anything?” For some reason, Emily felt that there was some resentment in the eyes of the woman in white.

However, no matter how she looked at it, she still couldn’t see anything wrong.

“Why are you so stupid? Didn’t you notice that the tree trunk has become thinner?”

The white-clothed woman glared at Emily with dissatisfaction.

Emily looked at the tree trunk carefully. It seemed to have become a little thinner! But it was really not obvious, okay?

However, Emily was still a little surprised. Didn’t they say that the longer the tree was, the thicker it would become? How could it become thinner?

“I told you the other day that liking can make the tree trunk thicker, and you’ll also get benefits. But if someone hates you, the tree trunk will become thinner. Of course, you’ll also get a little punishment for this.”

The woman used her hand to make a small gesture, but Emily felt that it was definitely more than what she said.

Annoying? Was she talking about Shen Xue and her mother? Or was she talking about the people who were talking about her today?

“What punishment?” This was what Emily was most worried about. She was not RMB, so how could she be liked by everyone?
